Hugh Peal, Jean Peters, Miriam Phelps, Thoreau Raymond, Lynne Robinson, Duane Schneider, Aileen Ward, Carl Woodring, and Richard Wordsworth, whose Annual Wordsworth Summer Conference in the Lake District has twice provided information, stimulus and valuable friendship. I record with sorrow the death before this book appeared of Dr Sam M. Seitz, psychiatrist, who provided voluntary and penetrat­ ing modern professional interpretations of the psychological prob­ lems of Mary Lamb, Charles Lamb and Charles Lloyd and who became through this association a close personal friend. Especial thanks goes to Marguerite Bodycombe for her voluntary, indefatigable typing of the first lengthy draft; to Malcolm C. Johnson, who encouraged this book from an early stage, and long thereafter; to Carl H. Pforzheimer,Jr, who offered me the use of the Carl H. Pforzheimer Library, and Donald H. Reiman, editor and scholar, whom I found there and who suggested many fruitful avenues of research, as well as Mihai M. Handrea, librarian, and the editorial and library staffof the Pforzheimer. The staff of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts provided research facilities, as did the Croton Free Library through its statewide borrowing system, and the R. R. Bowker Company Library in New York. The British Library kindly provided microfilm. X Acknowledgments XI It was good to meet the Charles Lamb Society in London, of whom Florence Reeves and Basil Savage were particularly helpful; helpful also were the A. D. G. Cheynes, the Sidney Halls, Mary R. Wedd and Mr D. 0. Pam and the staff of the Edmonton Main Library, where the Society's Charles Lamb Library was housed until recently (it is now in the Guildhall, London). Edwin W. Marrs, Jr, editor of the fine new Letters of Charles and Mary Anne Lamb, has been most prompt and kind in providing information. I am grateful to the staff of the New York Public Library, where most of my research was done, and to Lola L. Szladits, Curator of its Berg Collection, who allowed me to study the Keats marginalia in a book by Charles Lamb (acknowledged below) and provided other assistance. Burton R. Pollin was kind enough to send me copies of his many articles on members ofLamb's circle. Mr T. R. T. Manning and his aunt Miss Ruth B. Manning were gracious hosts in Norfolk and Suffolk, providing the oppor­ tunity to look at the family memorabilia ofThomas Manning. Anne Lonsdale of Oxford University's Oriental Institute, now writing a much-needed biography of Manning, was most generous in sharing her knowledge. Clement Alexandre spent many hours going over earlier versions of the manuscript and providing editorial advice, sometimes severe and therefore immensely valuable. David V. Erdman gave much time and lent his own unpublished notes on the history of the Albion newspaper, for which Lamb wrote, as well as other material and assistance for my three-part article which provides the basis for much of Chapter 26. E. P. Thompson kindly provided me with an interesting sidelight on Lamb and John Thelwall. My husband, Denis A. Courtney, read and proof-read all chapters in several versions, offering valuable suggestions, helped me in retyping the final manuscript and in countless other chores, besides providing inestimable moral (and financial!) support. Richard Garnett, T. M. Farmiloe, Julia Tame and others at Macmillan have been patient, prompt and responsive.

Forster and Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, the two authors illwninate their portrayal ofearly twentieth-century London and its rising modernity with oceanic metaphors. My research in history, cultural studies, literary criticism, and psychoanalytic theory aimed to discover why and to what end Forster and Woolf would choose this particular image for the metropolis itselfand for social interactions within it. Context of the Problem: My interpretation of the oceanic metaphor in the novels stems from the views of particular theorists and writers in urban psychology and sociology (Anthony Vidler, Georg Simmel, Jack London) and in psychoanalysis (Sigmund Freud, particularly in his correspondence with writer Romain Rolland). These scholars provide descriptions ofthe oceanic in varying manners, yet reflect the overall trend in the period to characterizing life experience, and particularly experiences in the city, through images and metaphors ofthe sea.

  • Off the Pedestal, on the Stage: Animation and De-Animation in Art
    Off the Pedestal; On the Stage Animation and De-animation in Art and Theatre Aura Satz Slade School of Fine Art, University College, London PhD in Fine Art 2002 Abstract Whereas most genealogies of the puppet invariably conclude with robots and androids, this dissertation explores an alternative narrative. Here the inanimate object, first perceived either miraculously or idolatrously to come to life, is then observed as something that the live actor can aspire to, not necessarily the end-result of an ever evolving technological accomplishment. This research project examines a fundamental oscillation between the perception of inanimate images as coming alive, and the converse experience of human actors becoming inanimate images, whilst interrogating how this might articulate, substantiate or defy belief. Chapters i and 2 consider the literary documentation of objects miraculously coming to life, informed by the theology of incarnation and resurrection in Early Christianity, Byzantium and the Middle Ages. This includes examinations of icons, relics, incorrupt cadavers, and articulated crucifixes. Their use in ritual gradually leads on to the birth of a Christian theatre, its use of inanimate figures intermingling with live actors, and the practice of tableaux vivants, live human figures emulating the stillness of a statue. The remaining chapters focus on cultural phenomena that internalise the inanimate object’s immobility or strange movement quality. Chapter 3 studies secular tableaux vivants from the late eighteenth century onwards. Chapter 4 explores puppets-automata, with particular emphasis on Kempelen's Chess-player and the physical relation between object-manipulator and manipulated-object. The main emphasis is a choreographic one, on the ways in which live movement can translate into inanimate hardness, and how this form of movement can then be appropriated.

  • Anon Is Not Dead: Towards a History of Anonymous Authorship in Early-Twentieth-Century Britain Emily Kopley
    Document generated on 09/30/2021 7:56 p.m. Mémoires du livre Studies in Book Culture Anon is Not Dead: Towards a History of Anonymous Authorship in Early-Twentieth-Century Britain Emily Kopley Générations et régénérations du livre Article abstract The Generation and Regeneration of Books In 1940, Virginia Woolf blamed the printing press for killing the oral tradition Volume 7, Number 2, Spring 2016 that had promoted authorial anonymity: “Anon is dead,” she pronounced. Scholarship on the printed word has abundantly recognized that, far from URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1036861ar being dead, Anon remained very much alive in Britain through the end of the DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1036861ar nineteenth century. Even in the twentieth century, Anon lived on, among particular groups and particular genres, yet little scholarship has addressed this endurance. Here, after defining anonymity and sketching its history in the See table of contents late nineteenth and early twentieth century, I offer three findings. First, women had less need for anonymity as they gained civil protections elsewhere, but anonymity still appealed to writers made vulnerable by their marginalized Publisher(s) identities or risky views. Second, in the early twentieth century the genre most likely to go unsigned was autobiography, in all its forms. Third, on rare Groupe de recherches et d’études sur le livre au Québec occasions, which I enumerate, strict anonymity achieves what pseudonymity cannot. I conclude by suggesting that among British modernist authors, the ISSN decline of practiced anonymity stimulated desired anonymity and the prizing 1920-602X (digital) of anonymity as an aesthetic ideal.

  • PAPER VI UNIT I Non-Fictional Prose—General
    PAPER VI UNIT I Non-fictional Prose—General Introduction, Joseph Addison’s The Spectator Papers: The Uses of the Spectator, The Spectator’s Account of Himself, Of the Spectator 1.1. Introduction: Eighteenth Century English Prose The eighteenth century was a great period for English prose, though not for English poetry. Matthew Arnold called it an "age of prose and reason," implying thereby that no good poetry was written in this century, and that, prose dominated the literary realm. Much of the poetry of the age is prosaic, if not altogether prose-rhymed prose. Verse was used by many poets of the age for purposes which could be realized, or realized better, through prose. Our view is that the eighteenth century was not altogether barren of real poetry. Even then, it is better known for the galaxy of brilliant prose writers that it threw up. In this century there was a remarkable proliferation of practical interests which could best be expressed in a new kind of prose-pliant and of a work a day kind capable of rising to every occasion. This prose was simple and modern, having nothing of the baroque or Ciceronian colour of the prose of the seventeenth-century writers like Milton and Sir Thomas Browne. Practicality and reason ruled supreme in prose and determined its style. It is really strange that in this period the language of prose was becoming simpler and more easily comprehensible, but, on the other hand, the language of poetry was being conventionalized into that artificial "poetic diction" which at the end of the century was so severely condemned by Wordsworth as "gaudy and inane phraseology." 1.2.

Kenney, Jr.: The Moment, 1910: Virginia Woolf, Arnold Bennett, and Turn of the The Moment, 1910: Virginia Woolf, Arnold Bennett, and Turn ofthe Century Consciousness by EDWIN J. KENNEY, JR. N THE YEARS 1923-24 Virginia Woolf was embroiled in an argument I with Arnold Bennett about the responsibility of the novelist and the future ofthe novel. In her famous essay "Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown," she observed that "on or about December, 1910, human character changed";1 and she proceeded to argue, without specifying the causes or nature of that change, that because human character had changed the novel must change if it were to be a true representation of human life. Since that time the at once assertive and vague remark about 1910, isolated, has served as a convenient point of departure for historians now writing about the social and cultural changes occurring during the Edwardian period.2 Literary critics have taken the ideas about fiction from "Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown" and Woolfs other much-antholo­ gized essay "Modern Fiction" as a free-standing "aesthetic manifesto" of the new novel of sensibility;3 and those who have recorded and discussed the "whole contention" between Virginia Woolf and Arnold Bennett have regarded the relation between Woolfs historical observation and her ideas about the novel either as just a rhetorical strategy or a generational disguise for the expression of class bias against Bennett.4 Yet few readers have asked what Virginia Woolf might have nleant by her remark about 1910 and the novel, or what it might have meant to her.
